It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married me, my mother tried every kind of treatment to make me put on weight, but I did not gain weight. Then she fed me cucumber with fresh dates, and I gained weight in the best way."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Hammad bin Zayd except Zayd bin al-Hubab, and al-Hasan bin al-Sabbah is alone in narrating it."
